I am an Assistant Professor in Computational Optimization at University of Vienna. I received my PhD (2015) from Kyiv National University, where I was advised by Prof. V. Semenov. After that I had postdocs in Graz, Göttingen, and Lausanne. Then I joined Linköping University, Sweden as a WASP faculty assistant professor.
Research Interests: My research area is continuous optimization. Primarily, I study existing algorithms and develop new ones. Related areas of interest include numerical linear algebra, algorithms, dynamical systems, stochastic methods, optimal transport, and machine learning. I like nice theorems, simple algorithms, and interesting applications.

Name: Besides "Yurii Malitskyi", I sometimes use another spelling "Yura Malitsky". Both are fine.
